Edward A. Doisy Research Center at Saint Louis University
St. Louis, Missouri

LEED Project The 10-story, 206,000-square-foot research building incorporates a significant amount of open space area with greatly reduced stormwater runoff amounts from previously developed conditions. The mechanical systems operate at energy efficient levels well below the energy code, considering the project will require 100 percent outdoor air supply at all times. A high recycled material content percentage was achieved as the project progressed, and an educational Web site has been established to promote and educate users about the building, construction and use. The building features a contemporary design of steel, brick and glass on the exterior. Serving as an anchor to SLU’s Health Sciences Center, the building is surrounded by a significant amount of open space and landscaping. Achieved Final LEED NC Silver Certification is June of 2007.

Clayco served as the construction manager and general contractor for the first phase of construction on the $80.5 million project. The research center provides scientists and researchers at Saint Louis University new tools in the war against bioterrorism, cancer and cardiovascular disease. The building includes a 10-story tower at the north end of the site, near Grand and Chouteau, with the first two floors extending toward the south and connecting in a covered walkway to the SLU School of Medicine.
